For the second week in a row, the Hillsdale Hornets will take on a special foe. In round one, the Hornets renewed a crosstown rivalry with Jonesville and won, 29-14. This week they get a rematch with the Constantine Falcons, the team that ended their season in 2012.

"Revenge is in the back of all of our heads," senior linebacker and receiver Andrew Wilcox said.

In 2012, Constantine beat Hillsdale 48-35 in the Regional Championship, and then advanced to the State Championship before losing to Ithaca.

The Hornets made too many mistakes in the loss, in particular a goal line fumble. Constantine also converted on several 3rd and longs with big runs.

"They were very disciplined," Wilcox said. "They kept running inside. They just ran the ball down our throats."

2013 is a new year with new lineups.

"Last year doesn't matter," Hillsdale coach Marc Lemerand said.

Constantine graduated an entire backfield of hard runners in 2012, but their scheme has not changed, and their new crop of players are no less talented.

Against Michigan Center last week, the Falcons won 41 to 26, and picked up nearly 400 rushing yards.
